The pre-coinmencement election 'of officers for the official organizations of the university was begun during the past week by the Glee club and the Spanish club.

This is necessary in order that the results may appear in the University Handbook which will be issued in September. In connection with these elections, at the last regular meeting of the Student Council, a motion was offered limiting the number of offices which a student may hold at the same time, to one major and one minor office. The motion was lost. A substitute motion was passed by which a student is entitled to hold- any number of offices to which he is elected. However, if a student is elected president of the Student Council or Editor-inchiefClosing Recitals Slated by Class Miss Eugie Tebault, pianist, will be soloist at the next in the series of senior recitals of the college of music on April 29. Miss Louise de k Tarnowsky, pianist, will present her senior program on May 6. All senior recitals are scheduled for presentation at 8:15 p. m. The h place for the next two recitals has been set tentatively as the studio of Miss Mary M. Scott, director of the programs.

Following the junior recital, a short program was presented by •TSdwin Finkelstein, ce list, pupil of Otto Fink. He pluyed selections from Goltermann. Massenet, and , Saint Saens. 1000 Sodalists Ban Indecent Books At Meet Indecent "modern magazines", such as Ballyhoo, Esquire, and the like, were banned as harmful to the morals of' modern youth by approximately 1000 Louisiana and Mississippi sodalists convened in session last Sunday at Bay St. Louis. In a resolution adopted at the final session of the afternoon, the members' of 52 sodalities, representing 16 cities and towns, pledged themselves not to read the so-called "modern magazines" and to discourage their reading by others. Action is expected to be effected through the cooperation of the Legion of Decency by employing the same system now in use against the motion picture industry. In doing this, the sodalists resorted to the policy adopted at the Dixie sodality convention in New Orleans two years ago. The delegates to the inter-state convention further resolved to renew their efforts to work for the Legion of Decency. The resolutions so adopted came about as a result of the discussion on the question, "Is it resolved that the 'modern magazine' is harmless to modern youth?", which was chairmaned by the Rev. John H. McAtee, S. J„ of Jesuit High school, and opened by A. J. O'Donnell, of Loyola. M The morning discussion about the qualities of the idH boy and the ideal girl. It resolved finally that the idH boy should be a practical CathoH gentleman of strong charactJP that he should possess respect for himself and for womanhood, that he should possess strong will and determination to do what is right, and that he should show consideration for others. Staunch Catholicity was set down as the prime requisite for the ideal girl. Other qualities stipulated were moral purity and compatibility along with moderateness in drink and smoke, if these latter habits are indulged in: The Rev. Leo F. Fahey, assistant pastor of Our Lady of the Gulf church, presided at the morning session, and the Rev. S. H. Hay, S. J., dean of men at Lo- Meyer Is Chosen New Prexy of Glee Club Officers of the Glee club for the next school session were elected Tuesday at 4 p. m., at a special meeting held in Ronald Mac Donald hall. The officers are: Julius Meyer, president; Philip Achee, vice-president; and Milton Mc- Govern, secretary-treasurer. Mayer succeeds Edward Carey as president.Nellie, Loyola's Old Gray Mare, Is Disposed Of To Junk Dealer There will fee many a sorrowful face, and maybe a few tearful eyes, when it is learned that Nellie, for the past decade one of the landmarks of the Loyola campus and several times elected "Most Popular Coed", has been sold and will be seen no more. Nellie had been here for 13 years, since she was a mere tolt of seven. At the start, she was quite a worker and certainly did her share and more in the tasks of beautifying the campus. However, with increasing age, Nellie became less agile, and gradually the power motors were replacing her on the field. At the same time, she began to realize her position, and no doubt felt that she should be allowed more privileges. So she started to make her meals—that is her inbetween-one—off of "Shorty's" * nice grass on the football field. A bar nailed across the gate prevented this, but, not to be discouraged, Nellie began to nibble the flowering plants and shrubbery on the campus between Marquette and Bobet halls. When Nellie turned to azaleas the ground-keepers were forced to turn in desperation to the university board. ' It was ultimately decided that Nellie should be sold, and so a short time back she was disposed of to a junk dealer, on the assurance that a good home with not too heavy work would be provided for her in her declining years. But the campus won't look the same on these summery days, when the students look dreamily out of the classroom window and fail to see a white mare galloping about from one luscious bush to another. Circolo Play Scheduled For May 3 In Marquette Miss Teresa Napolitano Cast In Feminine Lead Because of unforseen complications in the casting of players, the production of "Scherzi D'Amore" by the Circolo Universitario Italiano has been postponed from April 26 and 27 to Sunday, May 3, according to Prof. Antonio E. Papale, moderator of the society. The play will be held at 8 p. m. in Marquette auditorium. Cast in the leading roles of the three-act comedy by Sabatino Lopez are Miss Teresa Napolitauo, sophomore in the school of dentistry, and Peter G. Contrucci, secretary to the Italian Consul. They take the parts of Rosalia and Ruggero, respectively. The play consists of a series of flirtations and love scenes woven about the plot which deals with a short-lived romance between Dominico, the husband of Norina, and Madam Rolier, an Italian women married to an elderly French financier.The romance is discovered by Rosalia, the mother oT Norina, when Dominico entrusts her with the keys of the household and she comes across some love letters written by Madam Rolier to Dominico. Rosalia, greatly upset, informs Dominico's father, Ruggero, who extracts a promise from Rosalia not to tell Norina and to let him handle the matter. Dominico refused to tell of Mb succeeds in patching things up to TERESA NAPOLITANO Madame Taggart In Classical Recital Madame Marguerite Costellanos Taggart, New Orleans concert soprano and former professor at the Eastman school of music of Rochester university, appeared in a recital sponsored by the Loyola college of music on April 18 at 8:15 p. m. in Marquette auditorium.

Wegmann, vice-president; George Black Dog Becomes Pal, Mascot Of "The Park Commission" Boys During the past year many strange characters—some famous, some infamous—have made their appearance on the Loyola campus. In the latter category (or should we say dogegory?) has been an animal which some persons claim to be a member of the canine family. This creature's main claim to dogdom is the fact that he barks and wags his tail. There all resemblance ends, for he stands about three feet high and weighs well over 100 pounds. He was first introduced to the students when a prominent member of the boxing squad coaxed him into the library one day. He, that is, the dog, promptly won his way into the hearts of the studying (?) students by moseying from table to table, sniffing audibly at the feet and legs of the aforementioned students. This sally ended in a rout, when the librarian chased "Occhipinti" (one of the many names bestowed upon this dawg.) For a brief time he was seen no more, but he was just biding his time. His next venture into the limelight occured when he managed to get In the way of a motorcycle driven by Julius Meyer. Having a feeling of kindness for dumb animals, and not wanting to muss up his motorcycle, Meyer made a valiant effort to miss him and did so, the result being a badly sprained ankle and a considerably damaged motorcycle.

According to Jack Smythe, chairman, the dance will not be a summer formal affair, so in case the linen is soiled, you may wear what you like.
